4To all whom it may concern:

Be it knownV thatwe, JOHN B. ItosEand'JnRoM B.

BROWN`,.0fNew London`,"in the county of1Waupacca,

. i `and, State of Wisconsin, have invented certain, new l. and useful ImprovementsI in Upset 'for Punch and Shears; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, cleaigand" exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification. y.

Our presentinvention relates to a machine for upsetting, punching, and cutting tires, and consists in the construction and general arrangementof such a mal chine, but, more particularly, `in having the upset travel with the upsetting-power. i i In order to enable others skilled in the art to which Aourinventionappertains, tol make and use the same,

we `'will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings,liu which-.- Figure l is a plan vicw of our machine; and f Figure 2, aside view of the upper shear.

A represents the platform or bed of the machine, to which,ata 'suitable point, is pivoted the lever B. llie outer end of this lever is, by a chain or rod,C, conneetedwith an eccentric, D, which is also pivoted to the platform A. .p

It will he seen, that by turning the eccentric D one way,it,`cariies `the lever B with it, by means of the connecting-rod C, while, if the eccentric is turned in 4the other direction,'-it presses thevlevei` ahead of it At a suitable point on the platform A, is a curved stationarysteel knee, E, and a movable knee, F, be-

f i tweeuwhich two thetireis placed, and held in posiy tion, hy means of a wedgec, which presses the mova- `blellmee up against the tire.' 4

The tire passes against the curved shoulder of the The knee E and the shoulder on the upset IGr form E part of a circle for upsetting the tire. 'llo the inner side of the lever B, the punch I is snit'd ably connected, soas to be pressed inward or drawn :outward b y the lever. V

The punch works inja groove on the platform A, andis prevented from coming out of said groove by a pin, d, inserted inthet platform, and shaped so as to overlap ,the punch, allowing the punch, however, to

slide freely back and forth. f J represents the lower portion of the shears, bctween which and .an ear, K, is pivoted the lever L, which is provided with a blade, M, which forms the upper part ofthe shears.` The peculiar construction of the lever L is seen in fig. 2.

The point where the lever is pivoted is situated belowthe edge ofthe shears.

Having thus fully described our invention, What we claim as new, anddesireto secure by-Letters Patent, is- The movable upset G, connected, by the plate lH, to the lever B, and travelling with the same, substan- .tiallyas herein setrforth.

In testimony that We claim the foregoing as our own, we affix oursignatures in presence of two witnesses.
